First IH is my 1st 1800's coin

Hey Everyone,
I got out to the spot where I got the Joe Friday badge last month. I was walking around picking up coins here and there when out pops the 1902 Barber Dime. I'm thrilled because it's my new oldest coin. A little more hunting and I pack it up.
When I get home I dump out the finds from the pouch onto some newspaper and start to carefully clean the muck off the coins. I'm seeing a few wheaties and then :icon_scratch: :o That's an Indian Head! I read the date 1899, my first 1800's coin and new oldest coin. Here are some pics, thanks for looking.
Glenn

Re: First IH is my 1st 1800's coin

Congrats on your 19th century find. Now that you broke the ice, they will start to flow.

BTW, I have not made use of my NYC permit and time is running out. I have my eye on some potentially AWESOME sites up your way so gimme a holler!!

Nice digs Glen!
I found a 1899 Indian this week also. Anything that starts with 18 is great in my book!

Sweet Barber too.

Congrats,
Mark
